Bridgewater

Bridgewater, NS · Transport Canada · Transport Canada · LaHave River

Bridgewater is a public port owned and administered by Transport Canada's Atlantic Region, located on the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, at the river's navigable head where it meets tidal waters flowing to the Atlantic. It appears on Transport Canada's official list of owned ports under the "Public ports" category, which serve communities where there are commercial marine activities. The port's wharf infrastructure on the LaHave River falls under federal Transport Canada jurisdiction, including authority over vessels berthed there (Transport Canada has issued detention orders for derelict/problem vessels at the site). It is a small-scale community/regional port rather than a major bulk-cargo terminal; no major commercial terminal operator was identified.
